Un soir, un vieux Londonien s'entend prier par une jolie petite fille de lui indiquer le chemin d'une rue située loin, très loin... II y conduit l'enfant et fait ainsi la connaissance du grand-père de Nelly, propriétaire d'un magasin d'antiquités. Ce vieillard, qui a aussi un garnement de petit-fils, entretient d'étranges relations avec un nain odieux; celui-ci, perfidement, le dépossède de son magasin... Alors, une nuit, Nelly et son grand-père, la main dans la main, doucement, sans bruit, s'enfuient de la maison...

Little Dorrit

Under none of the accredited ghostly circumstances, and environed by none of the conventional ghostly surroundings, did I first make acquaintance with the house which is the subject of this Christmas piece. I saw it in the daylight, with the sun upon it. There was no wind, no rain, no lightning, no thunder, no awful or unwonted circumstance, of any kind, to heighten its effect. More than that: I had come to it direct from a railway station: it was not more than a mile distant from the railway station; and, as I stood outside the house, looking back upon the way I had come, I could see the goods train running smoothly along the embankment in the valley. I will not say that everything was utterly commonplace, because I doubt if anything can be that, except to utterly commonplace people-and there my vanity steps in; but, I will take it on myself to say that anybody might see the house as I saw it, any fine autumn morning.

Three Ghost Stories

Par un soir de 1775, dans l'auberge de John Willet, Solomon Daisy, ami du tenancier, raconte le meurtre de Reuben Haredale qui a eu lieu 22 ans plus tôt. Ce meurtre fait partie de l'histoire du village et est connu de tous. Mais qui est le coupable? Tout porte à croire qu'il s'agit du jardinier qui a disparu depuis.

Charles Dickens vécut de 1812 à 1870 en Angleterre et est considéré comme le plus grand écrivain anglais de son siècle. Son enfance fut marquée par le travail au noir dans une usine et l'incarcération de son père. Ayant interrompu son parcours scolaire, c'est à ses propres efforts qu'il dut une grande partie de ses connaissances. Dans ses oeuvres, il condamne la misère humaine en décrivant avec humour la vie quotidienne.
